T0 (ZZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN H. EYER- MANN, of the city of St. Louis, in the State of- Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Lotion, of which the following is a specification.

This medical compound is a non-alcoholic fluid preparation of calendula.

In making the preparation, to each twelve ounces of the oflicinal decoction of calendula, four ounces, by measure, of glycerine, and two drachms of burnt alum are added. The addition of these ingredients destroys all turbidity without in any way affecting the chemical action of the decoction; but if the preparation is kept for any length of time it is liable to become spoiled by fungous growth and souring. To prevent this without the use of alcohol, to each, fourteen ounces of the cleared decoction I take of boracic acid two drains, and of crystallized boraX four drains, dissolved in holic, shall not affect the chemical action of L the caleudula, and shall prevent fungous growth and souring of the decoetion.

I clai1n- The medical compound of decoctiou of calendula, glycerine, and burnt alum with the addition of boracie acid and borax, substantially as and for' the purpose set forth.

CHRISTIAN H. EYERMANN.
